Tattletale plastic

The University of Strathclyde claim to have invented a plastic package that can tell you when the food inside has gone off so you don't have to figure it out for yourself.

And yet another of life's little pleasures is denied from us.

I can see this being useful. Recall the phone call from the Welshman whose pizza had no cheese or topping a few weeks ago (but turned out he'd opened the box from the wrong end). 20 minutes to Tesco to get another one. Meat is more convenient in an airtight package: doesn't leak all over the place. But then you can't sniff it before buying it.

Of course, I guess in Scotland, one would just step outside and engage in mortal combat with a haggis or something.
